Yeah that does make sense that a competing seller would flag somebodies auction to reduce the amount of sellers with similar items. Kind of a chickenshit tactic. I can well imagine some geeky guy hunched over his keyboard with a trembling hand, just itching to report a competitors ad. There was a g...

I don't think anyone is going to argue trademark law , am pretty sure that most people *get it*, I know I do..HAD has every right to enforce what is his.. I think this is more of a "letter of the law" vs a "spirit of the law" type deal.... It's kinda like getting a speeding ticket for going 2 mph ov...

Personally I was just happy to learn 2 new words....

"Cupidity" (apparently I'm a greedy bastard) and "Casuistry" (my clever but misguided reasoning)

I had heard from another ebayer at the beginning of the auction to expect it....that he had been hassled by HAD himself over old Dumble knobs he was selling...yes...actual Dumble knobs... I sent an email to HAD this morning asking if he was really worried that my auction was going to in someway unde...

FYI

Maybe not new...but new to me....just had my VVT X-40 auction yanked due to referencing it as a "Dumble-style" amp....apparently coming from the man himself.

Just picked up the 6l6 version of the X ..GREAT amp!

killer playing, killer tone bro...is that amp stock?

Thanks Funk...looking foward to that Princeton

Am intrigued by the D style Fender front end/ Marshall back end w/ el 34's idea....aside from building one from scratch, is there a preferred amp to mod for this type of thing..Marshall, Music Man?

Thanks in advance!

Yeah I know of the ones on schematic heaven but not being a tech I'm not sure which one would best yield the desired result... things like "skyliner eq" etc are a little greek to me...

mostly playing a es-339 these days...also fond of a strat with lipsticks...

the idea of a modded bassman is appealing...can you point me in the direction of a schematic for the mods your talking about?

Hey Martin!

Yeah am kinda wondering if a modded fender might be the ticket...

50 watts would be plenty for me...

Best, JE

yeah i have never seen sonny live...but my ears tell me dumble, especially his work with john hiatt...

back to my question..looking for a mostly clean dumble tone with just a little bit of gain...would i still need a full monty ods build or can a comprimise be struck?

is..Larry Carlton's clean tone..that ramps up to a bit more hair...not a ton of gain, not much gain at all really....the most a compressed grind ala sonny landreth maybe... really those two sounds...no more bells or whistles... ..Aside from clones, is there a mod platform that lends itself to someth...

Am not a tech...just curious..recently got a mid 70's PR that I plan to mod around with...

Anyone know of preferrably non or not too invasive mods for a mid boost/fat switch and a tone stack lift?

Thanks in advance..
